We’ve got another highly awaited match in week three of the Summer Internationals 2024. It’s going to be an interesting encounter on the 13th of July between Australia and Wales. The game will kick off at 10:45 GMT at AAMI Park, Melbourne.
The main whistle for the match will be in the hands of Georgia’s Nika Amashukeli. In his duty, he’ll be assisted on the touchlines by Paul Williams from New Zealand and Matthew Carley from Australia. Stepping in as TMO is another Kiwi, Glenn Newman.
Week two's test between Australia and Wales had a lot slimmer margin than some may have expected, with the former coming out on top 25-16. Will the Aussies walk away with a 2-0 win or will Wales make it to a draw? Let’s see how my prediction answers to that question.
💯 Australia v Wales Betting Odds Summer Internationals
Wouldn’t it be good to have some reliable rugby bookmakers for your bets on this Australia vs Wales game? Check below for the latest top odds offered by some of my top bookies.
🥇 Australia v Wales Match Winner Odds
Bookmakers have Australia as the favourites to win the match and it's probably no surprise considering Wales’ poor record Down Under. Neil Armstrong's visit to the moon and Harold Wilson’s time as Prime Minister of the UK can be seen as recent events compared to the last time the Welsh won in Australia. Since their last victory, the Welsh have tried 12 times to seize victory from Australia to no avail. Have a look at the table below to find the latest Australia vs Wales outright winner odds.

🏮 Australia v Wales Asian Handicap Odds
The match winner odds for the Aussies don’t have much to offer, so you might be considering placing your bet for the game on another market. You are in luck because the Asian handicap market may have something in store that you like. Here’s what the bookmakers have for the Asian handicap odds for the game Australia vs Wales.

🔍 Australia v Wales Prediction
At some point, Wales were one of the best rugby nations in the world, but things started going wrong and the team have drastically dropped in recent years that even at their best, they appear mediocre. Australia’s case isn’t much different as they’re certainly not the same team they used to be in the early 2000s. Regardless, the upcoming match should be an entertaining one to follow. Here are a few factors that may shape events.
- History: 47 times Australia and Wales have come face to face on the rugby pitch, with the Aussies grabbing 32 wins and Wales 14. Only one draw has occurred, so this seems an unlikely outcome on Saturday. It seems the stats, then, may be the first sign of a victory for the Aussies.
- World Rankings: with 78.15 points, the Australians are ranked 8th in the World Rankings while their opponents occupy 11th position with 76.58 points. This ranking indicates that in the last 12 months or so, the Aussies have been playing well enough and are more likely to grab the victory.
- Home Advantage: Wales’ poor record Down Under, coupled with their 12 unfruitful attempts to beat Australia, doesn’t show them on their brighter side. To this can be added the believed home advantage which should tip the final score further in the Aussies' favour.
- Weather: weather forecasts have it that there’ll be plenty of rain in Melbourne in the coming days. Thankfully, something of a divine persuasion has decided to keep Saturday out of the plan. It should be a good day for some rugby and this might favour the Aussies.
- Game Play: with Joe Schmidt at the head of the Aussies, they’ll likely play on the front foot and be aggressive at the breakdown. I must say his previous Irish team was good at this. Going over to Wales, we’ve got Warren Gatland so we can expect more kicking and plodding which to me, isn’t that entertaining to watch. Unless the Welsh come up with another gameplay, I don't think they’ll overcome Australia.
It's not going to be anything of a landslide game, but I think it's unlikely that Wales will muster anything special enough to break their 50+ year curse Down Under; therefore I reckon Australia to win by 12 points.

✔️ Australia v Wales Betting Tips
This wouldn't be much of a Australia vs Wales prediction without some betting tips. Just remember, however, that if you fancy a flutter this weekend, gamble responsibly. The best way to do this is to set up a budget and stick to it.
1️⃣ Match Winner: Australia to Win
There are many good reasons back Australia’s position as the favourites for this match and it’s difficult to think otherwise since Wales have not had a win on Aussie soil since 1969. They had a good go last week lagging by just three points at half-time, but the Aussies kept victory on their side, restricting the Welsh with just two penalties. The Welsh may have settled in now and be ready for a fight this weekend, but I don't see much of an upset happening.
With everything that’s in favour of Australia, their win odds will be too short for many rugby punters, but if you don’t mind forging ahead, you can find odds of 1.34 at Highbet Sport.
2️⃣ Asian Handicap Winner: Australia (-10.5)
My money is on Australia to grab this one by 12 points, so my handicap tip is Australia (-10.5). Wales will give it their best shot, causing some rocky moments for Australia, but with the Aussies only needing to win by 11 to make this a successful bet, this is a margin with which I would be comfortable having a punt.
If you would like to go for it, have a look at Gentleman Jim who are offering odds of 1.95.
